Finally had a chance to watch the R&L performance and it do be canonical. This era is really, really special.
I’m not convinced Jamie’s tweet actually means anything, but if Matty was actually on Taylor’s new album it would probably catapult the 1975 to an entirely new level of fame
Yup. Really think it’s Jamie just stirring the pot when it’s just the fact that they’re releasing albums a week apart.
I was thinking about this yesterday. Taylor got to listen to their album early, which makes me think mayyybeeeee....they will be on her new album. Cause I mean, how fucking random is this?! Taylor Swift Has Already Heard The 1975’s New Album – Billboard
I'm assuming they both worked with Jack on these albums too so maybe he helped a collab happen? Who knows.
the new interlude piece they have for their live show is sexy af (the one that plays after It's not Living)
the only real vocal guest on a 1975 album so far is phoebe on "jesus christ 2005 god bless america" and sometimes i forget about that bc her vocals are such a natural fit for the song. taylor would be a distracting guest and i'll bet you $100000 she is not on this record and the conversation is moot
Taylor swift made some fucking great music with The National guys, idk why people would turn their nose up at any sort of collaboration with the 1975 guys.
there have been multiple articles that describe every song on this album already and i'm sure there isn't an embargo on saying "taylor swift is on it".... so she isn't
oh yeah i forgot about cutty ranks!!! he is not a distracting guest, he's part of what makes that song awesome
I don't dislike the song, I just think it's silly to suggest a Taylor Swift feature would somehow "distract" from The 1975's sonic world when they gave an entire song's vocals to a dancehall artist who they've never otherwise been associated with at all.
